4.2. Non-Drive Pulley (no torque or overhung load): The
{ollowing selection procedure is used (see Fig. 2).
‘Step 4. Determine the pounds parinch width (PIN) by dvding
bolttension(T, by batt width, Compare this PW tothe values
lstec in Table using applicable pulley diameter and arc of
contact. If calculated PIW is higher than the pulley rating,
select a pulley ciamater having the required rating
‘Step 2. After referring to the general instructions in Section
3, determine R, the resultant pulley load from Section 4.1,
Using the pulley diameter determined in Step 1 and an
estimated shat dlamoter.
‘Step 3. Select a shaft ciameter from Table 2 under Ratings
For Pulley And Shaft Combinations using R, the appropriate
pulley face width, and dimension L. The pulley and sheft rating
should be equal to or greater than R.
Step 4. Rofer to Table 3 to make sure pulley diemeter, face
width, and shaft diameter selected aro available. If 1!
‘combination is not available It will be necessary to go to a
larger pulley or shat.
Example:
24" x 44" bend pulley, 42" belt, 4000 pounds tension, 108°
are of contact, L= 14",
Step 1. Atension of 4000 pounds divided by 2 42" belt width
=95 PIV. In Table 1 for 24” diameter and 110° arcof contac,
an allowable PNY of 175 pounds is shown. Therefore, @ 24
pulley diameter is acceptable,
Step 2. Pulley and shaft weight W is estimated from a
‘manufacturer's catalog to be 800 pounds. Resultant load R
Step 3. In Table 2 under 44” face width, nots that 2 3-15/16"
diameter shaft witha rating of 8400 pounds is required for an
R value of 7130 pounds and L of 14"
Step 4. In Table 3 for a 24" dia
15/16" shaft diameter is availabe.
5 by 44" face pulley, a‘43 Drive Pulley (no overhung load): The following
‘selection procedure Is used (see Fig. 2).
‘Step 4. Determine the PIW by dividing belt tension (T,) by.
belt width. Compare this PIW to the values listed in Table 4
Using applicable pulley diameter and arc of contact. If the
‘caleslated PIW is higher than the pulley rating, select a pulley
diameter having the required rating
‘Step 2. After referring to the general instructions in Section
3, determine R, the resultant pulley load from Section 4. 1,
using the pulley diameter determined in Step 1 and an
‘estimated shaft dlameter.
‘Step 3. Select a shaft diameter from Table 2 Ratings For
Pulley and Shaft Combinations using R, the appropriate pulley
face width and dimension L. The pulley and shaft rating should
bbe equel to or greater than R.
‘Step 4. Determine shaft diameter considering combined bending and torsional stresses. To estimate the moment arm, use A
from Table 4:
‘The formula given in. ANSI B 108.1M-1985 Is:
For pulley and shat applications within the scope of Standard B105.1, the recommended values are:

4Example:
‘20° x 38" pulley, 36° belt, 7100 pounds tight side tension,
2740 pounds slack side tension, 215° arc of contact, L = 18,
‘shaft material - SAE 1018 annealed and machined stee! with
profiled keyways.
‘Step 1. Atension of 7100 pounds divided by a 36" belt width
= 197 PIW. In Table 1 for 30" diamater,intorpolating batween
210" and 220° arc of contact, a value of 318 PIW
etermined, Therefore, a 30" diameter pulley is acceplabl
‘Step 2. Pulley and shaft weight W Is estimated from a
‘manufacturer's catalog to be $00 pounds. Resultant load R
‘8440 pounds. See Fig. 1(a) for this example
‘Stop 3. In Table 2 under 38" face width, note that a 4-7/16"
